It’s part of our job to help steady the ship – to provide help and support to our members by assessing need and guiding them forward on a path of technological transformation that will improve the learning experience and benefit the organisation.

Other questions cover the use of tech to improve learning, teaching and assessment, compliance on accessibility and Prevent duty, and the importance of improving digital skills for both students and staff.

We also ask how prepared colleges are for the introduction of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018, and whether there is a robust cyber security strategy in place. The latter is particularly important as we know that colleges are an increasing target for cyber criminals.
